Camp Courage Inc

A Free Camp For Kid Dealing with the Challenges of Cancer

aka Camp Courage

DENVER, CO

Mission

We are a privately funded, non-profit organization dedicated to providing a no cost outdoor camp experience to children diagnosed with cancer. We will provide the campers with challenge experiences designed to provide them with coping skills to deal with the challenges of living with cancer. The inspiration for Camp Courage came from my desire to share the outdoors with kids and seeing how it can change lives, as well as witnessing firsthand, the devastating effects that cancer can have. Camp Courage can hopefully give the participants a rich, rewarding experience far removed from their daily struggles.

Camp Courage

Camp Courage is not a “cancer camp” where cancer is the focus; it’s a place where kids can be kids. Yes, they share this unfortunate disease, but that’s not what defines them, and it’s not what defines Camp Courage. We put cancer on the back burner, immersing kids in a week of outdoor adventures and fun. Activities include fishing in an on-site pond, a zip-line, the Big Swing, high ropes course, archery, horseback riding, boating, camp crafts, and hiking. Camp Courage is housed at the Balarat Outdoor Education Center located near Jamestown Colorado, about 50 miles northwest of Denver. The facility sits at an elevation of 7,500ft in the foothills outside of Boulder Colorado. The campers will be housed in a quaint lodge and have access to the full 700 acres of beautiful mountain terrain.
